Should instant replay be expanded in wake of blown call in NY Yankees' 4-3 victory over Twins in ALDS?

NEW YORK -- Everyone watching on TV could easily tell that Joe Mauer’s fly ball to left field in the top of the 11th inning Friday was fair, even though left-field umpire and Belleville native Phil Cuzzi ruled it foul. But unlike disputed home run calls, plays like that are not reviewable by instant replay.

Given the magnitude of Cuzzi’s blown call and the impact on the series, the question was raised after Friday’s game: Should instant replay be expanded to make more plays reviewable?

Crew chief Tim Tschida dodged that question, saying, “That decision is going to be made by somebody at a much higher level than I. It’s not one that I really want to get into at this point.”

Tschida added, “Some things are correctable. Some things can be overturned. Some things are just -- you have to go with what the guy closest to the play had and you live and die with the decision.”
